This course is a journey across the last 250 years of human ingenuity, told through the lens of 10-15 scientific and technological breakthroughs that reshaped the world. From the invention of chronometers to the sequencing of the human genome, we'll explore not just how things work—but why they were invented, who made them, and what kind of world they left behind.

No STEM background is required—just curiosity. We'll break down the core science behind each breakthrough in plain language, and then zoom out to examine the social, economic, and cultural forces at play. Who was asking the big questions? Who was solving them? And what happened next?

This is history told through invention. And invention told through people.
